Jubilee Yacht Club of Beverly MA is proud and excited to announce they will be hosting the 2019 Snipe US Nationals on Thurs, July 18 through Sun July 21. Can't get away for a 4-day series? No need to fret – a series within a series will be sailed on Saturday and Sunday, July 20-21.

Beverly is located 10 miles northeast of Boston, adjacent to the historic witches of Salem and fishermen of Gloucester. Waters and air will be warm and the typical 6-12 knot Southeast sea breeze and tricky tidal currents are sure to challenge all competitors.
